What are the differences between an LS1 and LT1 converter?

Like the title says, what are the differences between an LT1 and lS1 torque converter for a 4l60e?

If you're asking are they interchangeable don't think they are.

I know they aren't directly interchangeable, just wondering exactly whats stopping it.

Different bolt patterns. Both are 30 spline, but the O-rings are in different locations. And the height is different.

LT1 = Over All Height ~ 5.950
LS1 = Over All Height ~ 6.500
